As soon as your order has left our studio you will receive a dispatch EMAIL confirmation with the tracking number (Air Waybill) from the corresponding delivery company, together with details on how to track your order. Please note that these services might not be available during the festive and pre-festive days. Also note that the estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only, and gina melosi is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.
gina melosi insures each purchase for the time it is in transit only. A signature is required for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods is passed to you.
